World Thinking Day 2014

World Thinking Day is always held on February 22nd. This year the five focus countries are: Benin, Armenia, Bangladesh, Egypt and St. Vincent and the Grenadines and the theme is to "achieve universal primary education". Last year, I created "airline tickets" to Ireland/Jordan for my Girl Scout troop. This year, I've created tickets for all of the five focus countries and also  a ticket where I left the destination blank.  I will post a tutorial in the near future, so that these tickets can be customized for your troop.

World Thinking Day 2013

Today is February 22, World Thinking Day. Today girls honor their sister Girl Guides and Girl Scouts by taking time to give thanks for their international friendships and remember that Girl Scouts of the USA is part of a global community—one of nearly 150 countries that are members of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS). The focus countries this year are: Jordan, Malawi, Pakistan, Republic of Ireland and Venezuela. This year's theme is "together we can save children's lives".

Our troop chose to "travel" to Jordan and Ireland.

*ignore the wrong date on the boarding pass - that's the day we met and celebrated!

All Girl Scouts got a boarding pass and away we went!



We made SWAPS (Special Whacahamacalits Pinned Affectionately Somewhere) for each country:



The ideas were found on the Making Friends website:

Making Friends also had these great passport Fact Cards:


The girls sampled pita chips, taboule and hummus. The pita chips were a big hit!


They washed it down with a cup of Irish Breakfast tea...


Our Girl Scouts learned a lot about Jordan and Ireland!
